Judges: Anti-Clinton Film Is Advertising


And michael More's films were OK?
Judges: Anti-Clinton Film Is Advertising: "The early reviews are in, and three federal judges appeared in agreement Wednesday that a movie lambasting Hillary Clinton seemed an awful lot like a 90-minute campaign advertisement.
Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, is challenging the nation's campaign finance laws, which require disclaimers on political advertisements and restrict when they can be broadcast. The group argues 'Hillary: The Movie' and related television advertisements are not political advertising even though the New York senator is in the presidential race.
Attorney James Bopp argued that they should be considered 'issue- oriented' speech because viewers aren't urged to vote for or against the Democrat."
